THE PIERZ JOURNAL
VOT,. 3.
PIERZ, MORRISON COUNTY, MINNESOTA, JUNE 13, 1912.
NO. .V2
Electric Lights
Pierz
imas C. Gordon, manager
■ic and Water Power
Palls appeared before the commercial club last
Monday evening* and made and
explained a proposition of his
company to furnish the village
of Pierz and its residents with
electricity for light and motor
power. Briefly stated, bis plan
is this:
If the village of Pierz will
build a line to Little Falls and
install in the Pierz engine house
a switch board and other necessary accessories, the Water
Power Co. will contract to fur-
njsh juice or electricity to the
village for four cents a "Kil-
owat."
The village can retail this
juice to the consumer for ten
cuts, or at a profit of .about six
cents per Kilowat. The profit
to the village should be sufficient
to more than pay the running-
expenses. We are now paying
out about §800 a year for street
lights.
The plan1 will cost the village
perhaps $4000 to $5000.
By taking the $800 per year,
which we are now paying for
our street lights (and getting
poor service at that) plus the
profit which will accrue from retailing the juice cat ten cents per
Kilowat, the entire plant could
be paid for in ten yea* s from the
ordinary village revenue, without the aid of one penny from
the taxpayers.
We built the village tank, dug
the well, laid the mains, and
built up a tire protection, which
is conceded to be absolutely the
best in the state for towns of,,
I Mike Thommes
this class, from the ordinary
villaaje revenue: and it would be
strange indeed, if we could not
build a line to connect with the
power plant at Little Falls,
within the reach of which we are
very fortunate to be, at a cost
of from four to five thousand
dollars, without a special tax
levy.
Tom Gordon has no Gold
Brick to sell. The Water Power
Co. and its stockholders are our
neighbors and can be relied upon
to carry out the contract. They
have the juice manufactured for
them by the Father of W.aters
languidly following his natural
course to the Gulf, and can furnish it to us at a cheaper rate
than we ourselves can produce
it.
WE NEED THIS JUICE!
So why not vote in favor of the
bonds at the special! election.
